Place & story
Building completed and building proposed
Samuel Lewis recorded a cottage recently erected by the Honourable Robert King near the old church ruins at Mologga, within Templemolaga parish, in 1837. It was intended as a summer residence. He separately described the Catholic chapel at Coolbohoga as about to be rebuilt, so that work was prospective in his account. Another ruined church stood at Laba Mologga. Lewis’s description distinguishes a completed cottage, a proposed chapel project and two ruined churches; it does not supply exact building dates or establish whether the chapel rebuilding went ahead.
